Become A Book Reviewer or Interviewer for Policy Perspectives!

Policy Perspectives, the Trachtenberg School’s student-run journal, is now accepting interview and book review proposals for Volume 24! Policy Perspectives welcomes all current and former TSPPPA master’s, PhD, or certificate students to submit proposals by 11:59 PM on Monday, December 5.

Interview Proposal Guidelines

In approximately 500 to 750 words, your interview proposal should identify the person you wish to interview, explain why the person is significant, and lay out a realistic plan to conduct the interview.

We do not have specific content requirements, but we suggest reviewing the interviews that Policy Perspectives has published in past volumes (for example, with Trachtenberg alumni Andrew DiRosa and Admiral Thad Allen) to get a sense of what might be appropriate.

Book Review Proposal Guidelines

In approximately 500 to 750 words, your book review proposal should identify a work in the fields of public policy or public administration and explain why the book is significant.

You may also choose to review multiple related books together.

You do not need to have finished reading the book(s) at the time you submit your proposal, nor do you need to submit a draft of the review itself. After reviewers are selected, you will have until Tuesday, January 17, 2017 to read the book(s) and write the review.

We do not have specific content requirements, but we suggest reviewing past book reviews on our web site to get a sense of what might be appropriate.

We will not publish reviews of books that have already been reviewed by Policy Perspectives.

Please submit only one interview or book review proposal for consideration. If you are already a Policy Perspectives author or Associate Editor, you may not submit a proposal.
